Talk:Human radiation experiments

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] POV problems

This article seems based around a somewhat sensationalistic and journalistic account of the historical accounts. It needs more insight from more sober, scholarly, and straightforward accounts. I'll try to incorporate some of the material from Barton C. Hacker, Elements of controversy: the Atomic Energy Commission and radiation safety in nuclear weapons testing, 1947-1974 (Berkeley: University of California Press, 1994). At the moment the page is entirely slanted towards the more sensationalistic approach, and calling some of these things "experiments" is a little off (Castle Bravo was not a "fallout test" under any sober interpretation even if it was a complete and reckless bungle). --Fastfission 17:33, 10 December 2005 (UTC)

I feel a lot more citations are required. The 2nd paragraph under Fallout Research needs to be rewritten as I feel it is written as a personal account. There are no citations in Project Sunshine either. (unknown user 27/4/2006)
